Bürkle’s mercury collector enables the easy collection of spilt mercury, which can then be used again. The mercury ollector is composed of a tub with a screw cap lid that has a special plastic foam inserted. On pressing this foam gently on the spilt mercury, the foam’s pores are opened and the mercury globules are absorbed.
The cap is then screwed on the tub, the globules are released again and fall through the perforated separation into the tub.
